Chris Simcox, leader of the Civil Homeland Defense, a group of volunteers dedicated to patrolling the Mexican border for illegal immigrants, looks across a patch of the southern Arizona border that is a known transit point for illegal migrants. Simcox, who feels the U.S. government is not doing enough to patrol the Mexican border, is also the publisher of the TOMBSTONE TUMBLEWEED, a local newspaper in Tombstone, Arizona, that covers local events, immigration in particular.
